What if we, haha, (sorry this is too good so I keep laughing.) What if we compare Xi to a yellow bear?

And, get this, not just any yellow bear, we compare him Winnie the Pooh?

The CCP will never recover.

I am not racist him being yellow is just a coincidence, shut up.

You know that it was a dead meme and its revival by Westerners in 2018 was based on bullshit, right?

You know that meme originated in China right?

Colorism exists (._.)
A comparison can be used in different spirit/context than it was intended (it has repeatedly been used in a racist manner in the west). For instance, the argument that it originated in China is based on a post that added an image of Pooh and Tigger under an image of Xi and Obama; while suspicions of racism/colorism may be assumed from this, the poster did not photoshop Xi's skin to look more yellow (repeatedly done in liberal circles, including as the logo for the Meanwhileonthegrad comm from shitjustworks which you are federated with; this is the norm now). Seriously, this is a pathetic defense, and you should be disappointed in yourself for falling for such obvious bs.
